To stay at the forefront of early childhood education, we invite third party experts to validate the quality of our programs and practices. You don’t have to take our word for it—see what these non-affiliated groups have to say about KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc.™. 

In 2021 KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc.™ earned our fifth Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award—one of only four companies worldwide to receive this award five years in a row.  

Our centers pursue national accreditation from one of three national early childhood accreditation agencies: 

• National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)
• National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs (NAC)
• National Early Childhood Program Accreditation (NECPA)

Our Champions® program is awarded corporation accreditation through Cognia, a global leader in advancing excellence in education through accreditation. 

During the pandemic, many kids lost time and fell behind in developing key skills. But this year’s results from BRIGANCE® and TerraNova® national assessments show that the longer children were enrolled in KinderCare, the sooner they reached their social, emotional, and academic milestones.   

In fact, results from BRIGANCE® show that on average our students made seven months of progress over the course of only six months, and infants and toddlers had the biggest gains of any age groups in our programs.  

Interrupted learning during the pandemic has caused the average U.S. student to fall 4-5 months BEHIND in math and reading. Here at KinderCare, kindergartners average nearly two months AHEAD of national expectations.
